The OPA lets commercial contracts on a similar basis to operators of private pipelines provided these are consistent with Defence requirements. Access to the GPSS may require the agreement of private companies which control ingress points, egress points or other pipelines connected to the network.</p><p>Following the recent cross- government review of the role of both the UK refining and import sectors in UK, and in recognition of pipeline access being cited as an issue by some stakeholders, the new independently chaired Midstream Oil Government and Industry Task Force will take forward further work on this issue.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 02/07/2014 15:42:20 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>Obligated companies in the UK are required to hold at least one-third of their obligation as finished products of petrol, diesel and jet-fuel. The remaining two-thirds of the obligation can be met with a wider range of oil products and crude oil, known as ‘Any Oil', potentially including additional stocks of petrol, diesel and jet-fuel. Companies are able to hold stocks both in the UK and in facilities within the European Union.</p><p>In April 2014 in total companies held 104% of the obligation for finished products of petrol in the UK, while for jet fuel this was 96% and diesel 78%. The higher figure for petrol is a result of stocks of this product also being held by obligated companies in the UK toward the ‘Any Oil' obligation.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 01/07/2014 16:35:37 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon
